ABOUT THE BOOK Ethical Issues in Psycho-Spiritual Therapy is a definitive, foundational text addressing a vital paradigm shift in modern mental health care. For generations, traditional clinical frameworks enforced a strict institutional secularism that separated psychological functioning from a client's transcendent experiences. Recognizing that human distress does not exist in a spiritual vacuum, this book bridges the gap between empirical behavioral science and sacred global faith traditions, offering an exhaustive ethical roadmap for safe, culturally protective, and legally defensive clinical practice. Spanning practical multi-religious applications (including Christian, Islamic, Buddhist, Hindu, and Ifá perspectives), the text establishes precise operational guidelines for navigating highly complex clinical realities. It features specialized analysis on differentiating psychotherapy from spiritual direction, managing multi-religious countertransference, protecting data sanctity in an era of AI and digital desolation, and navigating the conflicting legal realities between the absolute inviolable Seal of Confession and secular Mandated Reporting laws. Ultimately, the work functions as both an academic curricular blueprint for clinical counselor educators and an invaluable practice manual for Psycho-Spiritual Therapists.
